Odd, Addams, and I'm out - 5.23.2007.1
Time for a few bits of the odd and little covered. Now there was a story out of Germany recently that amused me. It seems that a man in a wheelchair was pulled over for… wait for it… drunk driving. Let me clarify, he was not in a car. Literally the man was in the road and the police pulled him over. They then decided to test him for alcohol levels and he was 10x over the limit. Now I have to imagine that this was incredibly funny to watch. I wish there was a video to this. Can you imagine the police, lights flashing, pulling this guy over? I suppose he was asked to roll his wheelchair in a straight line before they gave him the breathalyzer. Ok, that may be crude, but the mental image made me laugh.
Speaking of the odd, how can I not write about the Addams Family? Now why would I write about them? If you have seen the television show, or the first movie (the second wasn’t as good sadly) I’m sure you can understand. I’ve wanted Gomez Addams explosive train set since the first time I saw it on TV. But alas, I am far from his wealth, so I will have to settle for re-runs, DVD, and a Broadway play. That’s right; there will be a new play that is drawn from these most unique New Yorkers. We can only hope that it will fare far better than Suessical, a good dose of exploding trains may help. Too bad we can go back in time and have Mr. Raul Julia, or even better Mr. John Austin, play their roles again. [Yes I’m a Fan of his work, and no he isn’t dead. He’s still working too. As for Ms. Carolyn Jones, she was a babe few today can match.]
And on the tail end of this post is the real trash of the day. The good news, there will be several months without the incessant talk about American Idol. The bad news, at least a week of conversation about who won the ‘reality’ program. The worst news, it will be back again next year. Obviously I’m no fan of the program. It bores me. I find it about as interesting as plodding through hot lead. Face it folks, it’s the mental nutritional equivalent of crack. If you think it’s too harsh a comparison, just look at how much time is wasted in the media to discuss this useless program. But since I often pick my winners in various contests I pick the girl, Jordan I think her name is. Never heard the show, seen a couple of soundbites, and she looks good.
If I’m wrong on the American Idol thing, it’s ok. I’ll get over it. Matter of fact I already did.
That’s what I think, what do you think?
